Very little is given when historians outwardly describe the rise of the Catechism, but much is given, my dear friends, when we behold it as it appeared from the super-sensible: “Down there upon the earth men are having to undergo things altogether new in the very depths of their souls; they are having to learn by way of Catechism what they are to believe.” Herewith I have described a certain feeling, but there is another which I must describe to you as follows:—We must go back once more into the first centuries of Christendom. In those times it was not yet possible for a Christian simply to go into a church, to sit down or to kneel, and then to hear the Mass right through from the beginning—from the “Introitus”—to the prayers which follow the Holy Communion. It was not possible for all Christians to attend the whole Mass through. Those who became Christians were divided into two groups. There were the Catechumenoi who were allowed to attend the Mass till the reading of the Gospel was over. After the Gospel the Offertory was prepared, and then they had to leave. Only those who had been prepared for a considerable time for the holy inner feeling in which one was allowed to behold the Mystery of Transubstantiation, only these—the Transubstantii as they were called—were allowed to remain and hear the Mass through to the end.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"V.

Eine andere habe ich Ihnen in der folgenden Weise zu schildern. Wenn wir zurückgehen in die ersten Jahrhunderte des Christentums, so war noch nicht eine Möglichkeit vorhanden, daß man als Christ in eine Kirche ging, sich hinsetzte oder hinkniete und nun die Messe von Anfang an, vom Introitus bis zu den Gebeten, die da folgen auf die Kommunion, anhörte. Das war nicht möglich für alle, eine ganze Messe zu hören, sondern diejenigen, die Christen wurden, wurden in zwei Gruppen geteilt: die Katechumenen, welche bleiben durften bei der Messe, bis das Evangelium zu Ende gelesen war; nach dem Evangelium bereitet sich das Offertorium vor, da mußten sie hinausgehen. Und nur diejenigen, die schon längere Zeit für jene heilig-innige Gemütsstimmung vorbereitet waren, in der man das Mysterium der Transsubstantiation, die Wandlung wahrnehmen durfte: die Transsubstanten, die durften drinnenbleiben, die hörten die Messe zu Ende.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":148,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/237/1924-07-11/p032"}],"english":["GA 237/1924-07-11/p028","GA 237/1924-07-11/p029"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":265,"en_words":314,"ratio":1.18,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","anchors","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 237/1924-07-11/p031","GA 237/1924-07-11/p032"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.1,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4860,"original_word_count":4407,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"George Adams.
